Guardians of the Glades was canceled after its second season.
Discovery Channel’s “Guardians of the Glades” featured Dusty “The Wildman” Crum and his team as they tackled the invasive Burmese python problem in the Florida Everglades. The show aimed to raise awareness about the environmental impact of these non-native snakes on the local ecosystem. Despite the educational content and thrilling snake captures, the series was not renewed after its second season, which aired in 2020. The reasons for cancellation were not officially stated by the network, but such decisions are typically influenced by factors like viewership numbers, production costs, and strategic shifts in programming. Fans of the show appreciated its mix of conservation efforts and adventure, but they had to say goodbye to the series as it did not continue beyond its initial run. Dusty Crum and his team, however, remain active in their efforts to protect the Everglades, continuing their work outside of the television spotlight.
